It's a bug that this doesn't work. I've fixed it for Tiger.

Hi,
I finally got my code working to use FTP URLs to connect to other
machines. But I still have a problem.
Even if you add a username and password, an FTP URL appears to be
restricted to referencing files that exist below the home directory
of the logged in user. I need to be able to list directories and
retrieve files from absolute paths relative to the root directory.
I saw something mentioned in the Apple docs where you could specify
an absolute FTP URL as:
ftp://user:pass@host//dir1/dir2/file (Note the double slash
between host and dir1)
However, this doesn't work. It still attempts to find dir1 starting
at the user's home directory.
Am I using the right syntax? Do I need to set some special property
in the URL stream? Is this supposed to work at all?
The ability to FTP arbitrary files from the server is critical
functionality for my application and if the URL approach isn't going
to work, I need to know right away. I've wasted enough time getting
here and really just need to get this working and move on.
Thanks,
Terry
